See your point, it could stand to look a bit flatter. The joke though, which seems lost now that he had to kill the name, is that IronMan is Tony STARK and the Crest of House STARK in Game of Thrones, is a Dire Wolf.

The House of Stark is a family in the Novel Game of Thrones. All their last names are STARK. Their blazon (the technical name for the design of a shield) is a grey direwolf on an ice-white field.

Ironman is the Alter Ego of Tony Stark. This is the same last name as the family in Game of Thrones. So the design takes the image of Ironman, and applies it to the OTHER Stark image, that of a DireWolf.
